Internet Penetration and Leisure Activity Entropy: A Macro-Micro Integrated Analysis.
Article in Entropy (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Amid debates over internet penetration's impact on leisure diversity-"macro-level entropy increase" vs. "micro-level entropy reduction"-this study explores their intrinsic link by introducing Shannon's information entropy theory and constructing a three-tier framework ("micro-individual decision-making-macro-regional growth-macro-micro linkage"). Using microdata from the China General Social Survey and macro data from the China Economic and Financial Research Database, we adopt a multi-method approach (benchmark regression, mediation/nonlinear analysis) to test hypotheses. Key findings: micro-level internet penetration boosts individual leisure entropy; macro-level impact may follow an inverted U-shape, mediated by micro-level internet use; the entropy-increasing effect is strongest for learning-oriented leisure, weakest for social-oriented leisure; education, income, and internet penetration are core configurational conditions. This study contributes a quantitative leisure diversity framework, an integrated macro-micro model, and insights into the nonlinearities of internet penetration.
